    wow, that’s a perfectly accurate description of my blue! we have a thing where when I come home, he’s waiting for me at the door, and always stands up on his hind legs to bump noses.

    he also figured out how to lead us to things, like his food bowl, litter box, windows, etc, when he needs something. when he decides it’s bed time he’ll get in the way of whatever we’re doing until we follow him to bed and get in. at which point he jumps to the foot of the bed and sleeps like a dog. he runs the house, and we’re his pets/servants, obviously.

    I only noticed, because he looks a lot like mine, who has oddly pronounced biceps for a cat. Sometimes when he sticks his paws out over the bed, it looks like he’s trying to point me towards the gun show. Also very active, and legitimately big boned.










  • I recently had someone complain about a bolt getting hot while they were wrenching it. they created enough friction to notice it heating up. and then kept wrenching it.

    also, I’ve started replacing normal bolts with rounded hand-bolts, which are nearly impossible to over-torque, so long as they don’t take a pair of pliers to them.


  • just watched a sadly hilarious video of a mechanic struggle with reverse threads on highly specific rotating assembly. like, I get it, it’s not immediately obvious, but edit that wrong turn out if you want to make a serious explainer series. also, if you work with pivots that often, you have to expect that shit.








  • my personal rule is to only lay a trap that has clear potential to be discovered in-game, with a context clue, and not an ambiguous “roll for perception” out of nowhere.

    randomly dropping an anvil on a player is a dick move.

    telling players they’re walking through an active construction site of a new smithing conglomerate, with an unfinished forge 10 meters above them, at least sets the tone and let’s them know caution is a reasonable option.

    also sets up some weird intrigue that could easily turn into a sidequest.
